Meaning of "Yasodharapura." The article says this word means "holy city." But the word seems to be a compound word consisting of 3 parts: (1) Yaso = the first part of the founding king's name, (2) Hara = a name for the god Shiva, (3) Pura = city. DoktorMax 02:28, 3 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'd like to suggest to merge the present articleinto Angkor article as both are targeted to same place. Is it a Good Idea?JaMongKut (talk) 12:28, 10 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Oppose as they are not the same place. Yaśodharapura was one of the cities built in the area known as Angkor. There were many cities during various era, Mahendraparvata, Amarendrapura, Angkor Thom...etc. Angkor also represents an era of the Khmer empire, so it's not the same as Yasodharapura. ¬¬¬¬
I think Angkor is the general modern term for the archaeological site. What I gathered from readings was there were different cities built in the vicinity of Angkor by different Kings of different eras. It might be good to get an expert to consult on this.

Someone asked this 2 years ago with no answers so I'm rerequesting that this page is merged with Angkor since that page is more detailed than this one LuxembourgBoy42 (talk) 20:31, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
